How do I stop people being able to see every file in my Amazon S3 bucket?

Question

If someone goes to the url of my bucket, they are able to see every single file listed.

Although I want the files in my bucket to be able to be seen by the public, I'd prefer not to have this list view available. Is there a way to prevent "directory listings" like this?

Hi Greame,

you should remove read access for "All Users" built-in group from the bucket's ACL. You can do that using the tool like CloudBerry Explorer freeware Make sure you keep read access on the files you want to serve from S3.
